I have just taken delivery of my mandolin strap. Alan has made me a bespoke strap for my Weber F5. The design was an interactive process with Alan requesting a photograph on the mandolin so that he could colour match the leather. It was then packaged and
posted to the United Kingdom without fuss. The strap is a thing of beauty that will last a lifetime and beyond as the instrument passes on to new generations. I am very grateful - so my thanks to you Alan.

I just received my strap today. The wait time for this strap was very short considering it is a made to order item. The pattern and color were very well represented in the website photo's. The quality of workmanship is first rate and exceeded my expectations.
The price is very reasonable for this kind of quality. The length has a good range of adjustment and in time I will find that perfect length. Alan is a stand up guy and you won't find anyone easier to deal with. Thank you Alan.

I recently took delivery on a beautiful custom A-5, and knew I wanted a very special strap to go with it. I picked out a design from Alan Gelman's offerings and placed my order. Alan made and delivered the strap very promptly. Initially I had some trouble
adjusting the strap to a length that was comfortable for me, but Alan helped get that squared away. The strap is, to say the least, beautiful and very well made. The craftsmanship is superb. The strap is also very comfortable, and looks great on my new mandolin.
If you're looking for something special, you'll find it with one of Alan's straps!

I bought one of these straps for my husband and he loved it so much he ordered a second one. These straps are so well made that the price is a bargain. Thank you Alan.

Alan has a unique design that makes the strap versatile and very functional. They are made to order, so each strap is a one of kind. When I received my strap the quality of the workman ship exceeded my expectations. Having one of Alan's straps on my mandolin
makes me want to play more. :)

While I doubt the tiny strap would work for my P-bass, Alan's work (and this web page) are outstanding!

Every mandolin strap that I've ever gotten tooled has always been disappointing when I have finally received it. These straps are so well done. And look so much better than in photos. And there is such a professional quality to these that is lacking in
so many straps out there today. Plus these have such a great range for adjusting that is super nice. I am very grateful for your hard work. Really is a great deal and value.

I would like to purchase a 3/4" strap for an F style mandolin. Photo 14 strap #2. Do you take venmo or should I just mail you a check?
